Whatever happened to luck and pluck?

I seek something larger than my own individuality: Liberty!

And what little may be left to me is not the government's!

"If you've got a business -- you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen." -Barack Obama

And if that business should fail, (as the majority of them do) does the failed business owner expect the rest of America to re-imburse his losses? And what about the time he invested? Does the rest of America owe him some labor?

Liberals are all too ready to reap the rewards of someone else's success. Reminds me of the kid's story about the hen that had some seeds and wanted to plant, grow and harvest wheat to make bread. No one wanted to help until it came time to EAT the bread.

LOL... No, unless we are talking about Solyndra, FannieMae, GM, etc.

Damn near every single one of my favorite columnists spoke on this asinine quote.

But what I love about them is the fact that they all had something different to offer in their commentary.

Obama's use of "my brother's keeper" is entirely wrong. It appears only once in the Bible and that is in Genesis after Cain killed his brother Able. God asked Cain where his brother was. Cain's response, "Am I my brother's keeper?", was hiding a murder. (Genesis 4:8&9)
